When a police officer asked Devonte Hart why he was crying, he said it was over the level police brutality toward young black kids.
The officer, Sgt. Bret Bertnum, sighed and replied, “Yes. I know. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”
Are those real tears or are those tear gas tears?
Was it necessary to put {black} in the title?
It’s a nice moment. I hope it was not staged, because that would mean somebody was using the 12 year-old, as much as the adult.
Also, I don’t think the policeman could easily have gone into a long-winded explanation of the grand jury verdict, or the statistics of black-on-black crime, etc. Some other time.
